Jazz and You!

The Hillsborough Arts Council is very pleased to be able to offer a unique opportunity for the community to take part in a Jazz workshop sponsored by the North Carolina Humanities Council.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />

This event will be held at the Historic Moorefields Estate, located at 2201 Moorefield Road, Hillsborough.

Based on the Jazz for Young People Curriculum developed by Jazz at Lincoln Center, the primary goals of this lecture-demonstration are to share, teach, and celebrate jazz music!

Recording artists Lois Deloatch (vocalist) and John Brown (bassist) will conduct a jazz workshop from 10 am til 11:30 that enables participants (musicians, vocalists, and the community-at-large) to experience and better understand jazz and its musical predecessors, Blues and Spirituals.  This fun and interactive presentation is designed to engage people of all ages in the exploration of traditional and contemporary jazz.  Emphasizing the use of music as a means of communicating within and across cultures, the workshop will incorporate both improvised and composed music.

Details and registration information are available at www.hillsboroughartscouncil.org (click on “Jazz Festival”) or call 919 757 2181.  This workshop is free to Jazz festival attendees. Registration is required. Must be age 12 and older.
